THE STRATEGIC VALUE OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
![Page 6: Leading through engagement management strategies to motivate and retain 28 august 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051608/54441c0fb1af9f600a8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Engagement happens when people are committed to their work and the organization and motivated to achieve high levels of performance
Engaged employees at work are positive, interested in and even excited about their jobs and are prepared to put discretionary effort into their work beyond the minimum to get it done
Say
Stay
Strive
DEFINING EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
![Page 7: Leading through engagement management strategies to motivate and retain 28 august 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051608/54441c0fb1af9f600a8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
South African respondents recognized the following top five trends in terms of the importance index :
Leadership (77%) – readiness gap (40%) Retention and Engagement (71%) - readiness gap (43%) Diversity and Inclusion (70%) - readiness gap (45%) Workforce Capability (70%) - readiness gap (47%) Talent Acquisition and Access (69%) - readiness gap (35%)
Despite these being the most urgent trends, many of the companies surveyed expressed reservations about their ability to address these issues in the short-to-medium term.

2014 REPORT
![Page 8: Leading through engagement management strategies to motivate and retain 28 august 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051608/54441c0fb1af9f600a8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Capability Gap index shows that Retention and Engagement has become an urgent challenge for leaders worldwide, especially in Brazil and China.
South Africa’s position shows the urgency for the trend, and the low level of readiness. South Africa (-29) is number six on the list.
This may suggest that organizations do not have the appropriate retention and talent strategies in place that cater for the continuously changing workplace and the changing demographics of the workforce.

CREATING TRUST IN LEADERSHIP

According to Gallup (2013) research, the best organizations deeply integrate employee engagement into the following four areas:
Strategy and Leadership Philosophy
Accountability and Performance
Communication and Knowledge Management
Development and on-going Learning Opportunities
BEST PRACTICE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
![Page 25: Leading through engagement management strategies to motivate and retain 28 august 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051608/54441c0fb1af9f600a8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
An effective retention plan calls for analysing more than just what causes employees to jump ship – talent managers must also understand which employees they are most at risk of losing.
According to Bersin by Deloitte research (2013) on employee engagement and retention, shows a variety of factors contribute to retention:
Managerial excellence
Recognition and rewards
Career opportunities
A flexible work environment
Great online tools
Corporate mission or purpose
DRIVERS OF EMPLOYEE RETENTION
![Page 26: Leading through engagement management strategies to motivate and retain 28 august 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051608/54441c0fb1af9f600a8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
In today’s digitally connected workplace, with the ever-changing dynamics of the environment and employees, organizations need to reinvent their retention and engagement strategies.
These strategies should take into account employee needs for career-life fit, the digital age of working differently and the high levels of employee migration and job mobility that are available today.
In the African context, retention and engagement strategies also need to be adapted to the cultural and various socio-economic conditions of the diverse workforce with consideration of the language and literacy barriers per employee demographic group.
LEADERSHIP LESSONS: “TAKE-AWAYS” – RETENTION AND
ENGAGEMENT
![Page 27: Leading through engagement management strategies to motivate and retain 28 august 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051608/54441c0fb1af9f600a8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Companies should shift from “holding” to “attracting and engaging by building commitment, aligning individual and corporate goals and providing engaging work and a culture of development and growth.”
The 2014 human capital trends demand change, investment and focus if companies in South Africa want to effectively compete both as employers of choice and as competitive businesses in a human-resource-constrained market.
Jobs in most sectors become increasingly knowledge intensive, and the cost of replacing capable workers is high. Companies already recognize that keeping good people and keeping them engaged and productive are two separate things.
The secret is designing a suite of systems (work, culture, flexibility and social and community purpose) that supports a talent experience that makes it easy for employees to be continually “signing up” for the work they do.
LEADERSHIP LESSONS: “TAKE-AWAYS”– RETENTION AND ENGAGEMENT
![Page 28: Leading through engagement management strategies to motivate and retain 28 august 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051608/54441c0fb1af9f600a8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Business Leaders need to transform from applying Compliance-driven (extrinsic) motivational strategies to Commitment-driven (intrinsic) strategies
Business Leaders need to adopt a targeted (rifle) approach and not a hit and miss (shotgun) approach to employee motivation and engagement
Business Leaders need to transform employees into associates (sense of ownership) and brand/company ambassadors
Business Leaders need to develop a bouquet of recognition-oriented strategies and de-emphasize the value of monetary rewards
LEADERSHIP LESSONS: “TAKE-AWAYS”– MOTIVATION AND ENGAGEMENT
![Page 29: Leading through engagement management strategies to motivate and retain 28 august 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051608/54441c0fb1af9f600a8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Businesses need to transform from Talent Management to becoming compelling Talent Magnets
Business Leaders need to transform from employee retention to building Passion and Purpose
Managers/Leaders are instrumental/pivotal to effective employee engagement practices
Businesses need to adopt an integrated approach/strategy to employee engagement
LEADERSHIP LESSONS: “TAKE-AWAYS” – MOTIVATION AND ENGAGEMENT
